Payment Methods Accepted

We accept MasterCard, Visa & Discover Credit/Debit Cards, Checks, and Money Orders. Orders paid by check will ship once the check has cleared (typically 7-10 days).

Buying PolicyVillage Books is always happy to look at books offered to us for cash. Due to the huge quantity of books we receive through trade we are VERY selective about the books we will purchase for cash. The cash offer must be accepted the day of the transaction and cannot be held on file.

The amount you receive in cash is approximately 10-25% of what our estimated shelf price will be for the book.

If you have an estate or large collection of books, hard to find antiquarian, literary fiction or regional history, we can make an offer. Please call if you live in the area and would like us to come see your items.
